Performance

Under the hood of the Nissan Maxima you'll find a 3.5 Liter V6 engine that produces best-in-class 300 horsepower and 261 lb. ft. of torque. It blows the doors off the Acura TLX and the BMW 3 Series. The electronic drive by wire throttle and CVT automatic transmission make for a smooth, fuel-efficient driving experience. It's a front-wheel drive configuration on all model trims, but that won't detract from the power or handling that this sedan can achieve. For a more thrilling driving experience, you should ask your local Nissan dealer about including the available sports-tuned suspension.

Interior

The leather-wrapped shifting knob and flat bottom steering wheel further elevate the driving experience and it can be upgraded to include heated Ascot leather. Although it's a delight to drive, the 2018 Nissan Maxima is just as enjoyable for other passengers. An 8-inch touchscreen monitor and Nissan Navigation are standard features on all model trims. So is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The rear seats have fold down armrests and the entire bench can fold down to increase cargo space.

Features

The Maxima has some impressive technological features that you won't find anywhere else. It has a built-in tire pressure monitoring system that goes a step further than the competition by giving you a signal from the horn when the tires have been filled to an optimal level. You can also open the car door remotely and adjust the interior temperature to your personal comfort level. These are both standard features. Another impressive feature is the hands-free texting assistant. You can keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel while the automated system keeps you connected to the world around you.

Safety

As mentioned earlier, forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking are now standard safety features on all the Maxima model trims. That forward collision warning can actually monitor two vehicles ahead to alert the driver of potential risks. You won't find that standard feature on the Chevy Impala or the Toyota Avalon. Most of the 2018 Nissan Maxima models come with a rearview camera as standard equipment, but you can include a four camera Around View Monitoring system on the Platinum edition. It can provide split-screen close-ups of the front, rear, and curbside views.
